Back Cover:

“Because something deep down in the subconscious knows that the ego is destructible…a longing arises for that which is indestructible…This is the beginning of the quest…” – Paul Brunton

This second volum in The Notebooks of Paul Brunton gives timely, candid, immediately useful advice about the promises and pitfalls of spiritual seeking. Drawing creatively and in a thoroughly unique fashion upon philosophical insights of both East and West, Dr. Brunton shows clearly and simply how the daily experiences and difficulties of modern living can be successfully transformed into meaningful steps on the timeless search for self-knowledge.

The Quest is invaluable for reconciling the voices of authority and individuality in anyone who longs for absolute inner freedom and competent instruction. It presents in depth the first of the twenty-eight categories from Dr. Brunton’s personal notebooks surveyed in Perspectives.

“…a person of rare intelligence…thoroughly alive, and whole in the most significant, ‘holy’, sense of the word.”

JOB:s kommentar:

Ordet quest är mycket vanligt i engelskspråkig andlig, esoterisk och i vid mening teosofisk litteratur ända sedan 1800-talet. Jones är ett undantag, som utan tvekan beror på hans avvisande av inställningen av sökande. Intressant nog använder han uteslutande “seeking”. Frågan uppkommer om en eventuell betydelsemässig skillnad. På svenska har vi ingen motsvarighet, och är därmed begränsade till “sökande”. Kvisition?
